TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1
PROGRAM # 9520 12:00 PM PT
Immigration Edition.
Justice Breyer is retiring from the Supreme Court and President Biden promised to nominate a Black woman. With a conservative supermajority in the court, what’s at stake? What can immigrants expect? In other news, Florida Gov. DeSantis and Republicans in the state Senate are strongly pushing a bill aimed at reinforcing the current sanctuary city ban and penalize the transportation of immigrants despite the fact that the law is in a legal battle. Finally, immigrants detained in facilities around California are being hit by the dual blow of a Covid outbreak and medical neglect.
Guests: Elena Hincapié, Executive Director, National Immigration Law Center, Los Angeles, CA; Dr. Isabel Vinent Grimany, Co-Director, Florida Immigrant Coalition, Miami, FL; Eunice Hernandez Chenier, Detained Organizer, Pangea Legal Services, San Jose, CA.
